Problem 4.62
Beam
AB
has rectangular cross section where point
A
is at the origin of
the coordinate system and point
B
has the coordinates
B .1:2; 0:3; 2:4/ m
.
The vector
Er1D.1 O{C12 O|C1O
k/ m
is perpendicular to the axis
AB
of the
beam, and is parallel to the thin dimension of the cross section. The vector
Er2D.29:1 O{1:2 O|14:7 O
k/ m
is perpendicular to both the axis
AB
of the
beam and to
Er1
. The force
E
P
applied to point
B
of the beam has the direction
angles xD144ı,yD72ı, and ´D60ı.
If the beam will fail when the absolute value of the moment of
E
P
about
Er1
is
4000 Nm
, or when the absolute value of the moment of
E
P
about
Er2
is
6000 Nm, determine the magnitude of E
Pthat will cause the beam to fail.
Solution
Our strategy will be to determine the moment of
E
P
about point
A
, and then use the dot product to determine
the components of this moment in the Er1and Er2directions. Then the various fail criteria will be applied.

Problem 4.63
Three-wheel and four-wheel all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are shown. For
both ATVs, the combined weight of the driver and vehicle is
WD2600 N
.
During a hard turn, the tendency for the ATV to tip is modeled by the
force
F
, which acts in the negative
y
direction. Determine the value of
F
such that the resultant moment of
F
and the weight about line
AB
is zero.
Comment on which ATV is more prone to tip during hard turns.
Note:
One
of these models of ATV is no longer manufactured because of its poor safety
record.
